I cimiteri ebraici di Ferrara attraverso i Pinqasim comunitari (secc. XVI-XIX). Il registro dei verbali della Comunità del 1630-1673

The Jewish Community of Ferrara is well observed through the historical reconstruction of its cemeteries. In fact, there were six Jewish cemeteries in the city, only two of which remain today. Through the study of the minutes recorded by the Jews in their Pinqasim, or registers, light is shed on the little-known aspects of these Jewish cemeteries. This study focuses on the great Jewish cemetery seated in Via delle Vigne in Ferrara, on its history, on its structure and on the members of the Community who took care of its custody and maintenance. This piece of research is based on the analysis of the Pinqas of the Italian School, enclosed in the manuscript IT/Lu-1a, housed at the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People in Jerusalem, spanning the years 1630 to 1673.
